BL Mini-Bytes

Last week was slightly slow on uptake, with less announcements. There were hardly any surprises with random hits & misses. The quietest weekend so far, there might be a storm brewing; you never know when it comes to the quirky BL world!

Bad Guy My Boss

Rose Studio dropped the official pilot for their upcoming adaptation “Bad Guy My Boss” and it is nothing short of a sensual treat. A playful romance between a casanova boss & his loyal secretary, the plot seems quite similar to the popular Korean romcom “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”. Check out the short teaser for their sexy antics. Starring James Hayward & Kad Ploysupa in lead roles alongside Zax Nattapat, Nick Steiner, Fam Thanuphat & Kin Anakin.

Synopsis-

Aware that it is not appropriate for an employee to fall in love with his own boss, “Patt,” a personal assistant to an austere, mixed-race businessman, “Ares,” therefore tries to restrain his emotions and maintain their relationship on a boss-employee basis. However, Patt’s effort is constantly challenged by Ares’s persistent attempt in making him his “one and only” sweetheart. Amid the intense competition in the red ocean of billion-baht-worth businesses where many rivals also want to win Patt’s heart, Ares needs to remove his unlovable characteristics in order not to lose Patt to anyone. Of course, transforming his personality is not as easy as undressing his assistant!
